Most beneficiaries are auto enrolled into the LINET program by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Be on the lookout for important communications from (CMS) and LINET.
If you have not received communication from LINET and need a prescription filled:
- Take your prescription and Medicare ID card to your pharmacy
- Ask your pharmacist to submit your claim to LINET using BIN: 015599 and PCN: 05440000.
- If you have questions or your pharmacist needs assistance call the helpdesk at (800) 783-1307
If you have already paid out of pocket for prescriptions during LINET eligible periods, you can submit your receipts for reimbursement.
